Beginning at Birth – Reading
Our infant son was laid into a bassinette surrounded by picture books, open so he could see the pictures. His big sister had arranged them for him. At three, it didn’t occur to her that ten days might be a little young to begin his reading journey. So almost the first thing he met on arrival at home was books.

Rebecca and Ralph were not exceptional children except in the quantity of books they were exposed to. They were bright, and lived in an educated Western family on a quarter acre block, with pets, and most of all with books. They have both grown into book-loving, word-loving adults, committed to helping the world.
